7mm GNR, pocket 7x57! Also very fond

Of the .256 Falcon, in a like manner a handgun performance equal of the .257 Roberts. Both those cartridges are not cannon powerhouses. They just get the job done by allowing the shooter to focus on precision bullet placement. The bullets are well constructed exclusively for hunting.

I do not like the 6.5 (.264 cal.), I’ve just been duped by some spotty bullet performance, personally cursed, in a 7mm guy. There is no sound argument for not saying the same about the .30 GNR. The same performance is there, it’s just in a .308 package. Arguably the .30-30 option in a pinch may even put it ahead of the others.

For really big game on this platform I do not trust myself with the more capacious rounds. You can surpass the capability of the platform. I’ve mixed ammo and it scared me. A 358” bullet on the same .30-30 improved case would do me. GNR has that covered too. I like Blake’s beloved and exotic .366 but you are pretty well locked into two relatively heavy slugs.
